OVERALLS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent NO. 338,118, dated March 16, 1886.

Serial No. 183,593. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I. MAUaIoE VANDERBEU- GLE, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Overalls, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to overalls, and is designed to re-enforce them at the crotch, so as to make the same stronger and more durable at that part; and the invention consists of a pair of overalls the legs of which are provided with a strip at their front edge, one of said strips being extended across the crotch attached to the front edge ofthe other leg, while the strip of the latter is extended backwardly across the stay or crotch pieces of the seat portion.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a front elevation of my improved overalls. Fig. 2 is a front view of the same, showing the front parts of both legs folded downwardly to exhibit the crotch-piece parts. Fig. 3 is a plan of the leg-pattern, and Fig. 4 is a plan of the pattern for one section of the crotch-piece.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

In the accompanying drawings, A A repre sent the legs of a pair of overalls, which legs are out according to the pattern a. (Shown in Fig. 3.) The front edge of the pattern a is provided with a narrow strip, a, which is cut from the body of the pattern by making first a short incision at right angles to the front edge, and then a longer incision parallel to said edge. Narrow strips to are thus obtained in both leg-patterns, which are utilized for re-enforcing the crotch, the strip a of one leg A being extended across the crotch and stitched to the inner front edge of the adjoino ing leg A, as shown in Fig. 1, while the strip a of the other leg is extended backward and stitched across the stay or crotch piece B and the back seam, as shown in Fig. 2. The stay or crotch piece 13 is made of two pieces, I) b, 5 of the shape shown in Fig. 4. The two strips a of the legs A A serve thus to re-enforce the overalls at the crotch, crotch-piece, and back seam, so that a very strong and durable pair of overalls is obtained that is capable of retheir front edges, of acrotch-piece inserted in the seat of the overalls, the strip of one leg being extended across the crotch and attached to the inner'front edge of the adjoining leg, while the strip of the second leg is extended backwardly across the crotch-piece and at tached to the same and the back seam, substantially asset forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
